Cloudy Reta

[11223344]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to all of this and my order just arrived: Reta 10mg vials, Tirz 10mg vials, plus some BAC water vials.

I've mixed up both the Reta and the Tirz. The Tirz came out completely clear, but the Reta is cloudy. I tried a second vial with fresh BAC water and it turned cloudy too.

Does this mean something is wrong? From what I've read, Reta is supposed to be clear.

Any thoughts? Would you consider it safe to use?

The vials with blue lids are the Reta ones.

Thanks.

Reconstituting Tirz is a breeze. Reta, on the other hand, can be finicky. Were both your BAC water and the Reta vial at room temperature before you started? The two need to match and be at room temp, since Reta can be temperamental. PH differences matter for it too. Which BAC did you use? I rarely reach for Hospira, but with Reta it's the better pick if you want to avoid the cloudiness.

A few weeks back, JP's Telegram had some posts discussing cloudy Reta. From what I recall, the general conclusion was that their bac water had a ph problem. My suggestion would be to refrigerate them and check again tomorrow to see how they look.

A few vendors had cloudy reta, I want to say around 3 months ago. I think it was reta 10 or 20. Try searching "reta cloudy" or "cloudy reta".... I can't look into it right now since I have to be up in about 6 hours for work.

This is a first for me! I take my vial straight out of the freezer and recon right away with hospira.

Regarding the original poster: it would be useful to know which bac water you used.

I have never done that, and despite reconstituting plenty of Reta, none of mine has ever turned cloudy.

Take another look in the morning.

That matches my experience. I'm with you on the BAC question — during a sale on Peppy's a while back, someone reconstituted a WW Changsha vial with it and got cloudiness. I ran one from that same order too, and mine came out crystal clear. She couldn't say which BAC she had used.

From what I recall, they tried putting in a couple drops of Hospira 8.4% Sodium Bicarbonate. I happen to have a 50ml bottle of that myself.

Hey trey915, appreciate the response. This is my first order and my first attempt at reconstituting Reta and Tirz. Are there rules here about naming the vendor in a thread like this? I'm not certain what's allowed.

As for the BAC water, I have no idea what kind it is — I simply ordered BAC water and the label said nothing more. Everything was kept at room temperature, and I made sure to push the BAC water in slowly along the inside wall of the Reta vial (I'd watched a few videos before doing it).

After sitting in the fridge overnight, nothing has changed: both Reta vials remain cloudy while the Tirz vial is still completely clear.

Would you consider the Reta unsafe to use?

Thanks.

It sounds like the BAC water you used came from the vendor, which is something I would personally never do. That said, since the same BAC was used with the Tirz and those turned out clear, I wouldn't inject the cloudy Reta. You could try reconstituting a fresh vial with Hospira BAC, Genetek, Lambda, etc. to see whether it comes out clear. In my opinion, any other BAC water beats vendor BAC.

The vials with blue lids are the Reta ones.

Thanks.

Without covering the fundamentals, there is basically no way to tell what is happening.

1. A quality BAC with the right PH. The only 2 obvious picks are Hospira and Genetek.

2. A tested batch of peps that confirms the correct product.

Before those two boxes are ticked, you are gambling, and the house always comes out ahead while you pay for it.

I typically use the vendor's BAC water, but I picked up some Hospira specifically for situations like this. Because Reta tends to be finicky, I reach for Hospira when mixing it so I can rule that variable out. Other peptides have been fine with the vendor BAC — except Kisspeptin, AOD and NAD. For the first 2, I add .6% acetic acid to keep cloudiness away, though the AOD still goes cloudy regardless; it is what it is, lol.

For the NAD, I combine acetic acid with sodium chloride BAC — it helps with reconstitution, prevents gelling, and cuts down on the sting.

As for the Reta, I would not inject it while it's cloudy. To be on the safe side, I'd try Hospira BAC water.

Exercise caution with this reta. The cap color matches, so please look into the topic before you inject it, even if the cloudiness has cleared up.

Edit: I realize that post predates the manufactured date stated on the JP label. It may not even be the same batch, but I wanted to give a warning since I know I came across it somewhere, though I never read all the way through to find out how it ended up.

The bac water from that vendor is complete garbage. Pond water would work just as well. Switch to Hospira or Genetek only, and the issue goes away.

The color of the cap no longer carries much meaning.
